This book leaves so many questions and fodder for thoughts. What a wonderful novel that still seems to stay current no matter how much time has passed. This was a re-read for me. I first read this for pleasure in high school and I remember be shocked and staying at the edge of my seat each time Dana traveled back. I still had those same feelings reading it as an adult. What a mind bender!
